Good package for Andersson, not sure if they would be willing to move him yet with all the movement they are going to have.
Not getting Jiricek for that though. They don't want to move him as he is the only option for a future 1RD they have.

They are going to trade Erik Johnson for a 4th and do nothing the rest of the day.

I agree. It would have to be an overpayment of the moved him now. I think that they want to see if Hunter B progresses the same way Anderson or Hamilton did after leaving the OHL.

It would start with Ostlund and a 1st and go from there.

I'm on the side that Calgary should full rebuild and eventually sell Andersson. I know that's not a thing ownership wants. I just feel he's going to be expensive and on the wrong side of 30 by the time this team is a contender. But moving him now shouldn't be a thing, next season or deadline.

Both trades are bit rich for my taste; especially combined.

The Andersson trade is somewhat interesting but his contract length would make me hesitant to trade Samuelsson, a 1st and a 1st round prospect for a guy with 2 years left. At minimum that 1st needs to have some protection as well as a lesser pick needs to come back.

The 2nd trade is thus redundant; and drastic overpay. I have zero interest in trading 2 NHLers, 1 1st round prospect AHL All-Star and our 2nd for a 20 year old defenseman who whined about going back to the AHL.

Effectively, imo, if you overpay for Andersson you wouldn't target Jiricek anyway.
